Joinery — first and second fix carpentry
Joinery is the detail that makes a building work — door frames, lintels, floor joists and fixings going in first, then doors, windows, skirting and finishes following later. We carry out both first and second fix on structural projects and new builds.
Every joint is precise, every fix is secure, and every finish is flush and clean.
What’s included
- First fix — door frames, window frames and linings
- Floor and roof timbers trimmed and fixed
- Lintels and timber beams to specification
- Second fix — hanging doors, installing windows and frames
- Skirting, architrave and trim
- Built-in joinery and fitted furniture
- Bespoke doors and frames
- Finishing — sanding and staining or painting
Worth knowing before you book anyone
Coordination with structural work
First fix timber often goes in ahead of or alongside structural steels. Frames need precise measurements; we take them at survey so joinery and structural work fit together without gaps or struggles.
Solid wood vs engineered
We use solid timber where it matters — door frames, skirting and visible work — and engineered products where stable dimensions are needed.
Joinery — 1st & 2nd fix: your questions answered
Do you carry out first fix work?
Yes. Door frames, window linings and timber work going in during the structural stage — all coordinated so the structural and joinery work fit together.
Can you hang doors and fit windows?
Yes. We fit doors and windows after plaster and decoration, getting them level, square and flush.
Do you make bespoke joinery?
Yes. Built-in shelving, wardrobes and custom doors are made to suit the space and finished to your specification.
